Tai claims England's 100th Commonwealth swimming gold

Le Clos was favourite heading into the race but could not keep up the pace he set in the first 100 metres as Chalmers and Horton, the 400m champion, charged to gold and silver respectively.

Guy, the 2015 world champion, had hoped to challenge but failed to add to the 400m bronze he won on Thursday as he was just beaten to a place on the podium by British 100m record-holder Scott.

Tai's gold medal-winning time of one minute 8.77 seconds was just short of her own world record and it claimed England's 100th Commonwealth gold medal in swimming.

Scotland's Kathleen Dawson beat England's Lizzie Simmonds in a race-off to qualify for Saturday's women's 100m backstroke final after both finished their semi-finals in a time of one minute 00.67 seconds.
